I am not ruling out Chauvin's guilt. But he deserves a chance to defend himself.

Biden is doing a good job of addressing the underlying issues by constructive means.

I don't think they will be cured any other way. For me, to survive as a country, the US needs to embrace measures that value cooperation and the building of public goods as part of its normal way of thinking, and to accept the limits of individuallism as an answer to every problem. It doesn't make individuallism a less important piece of the character of the US. But it's not the right tool for every problem.

Joe & most democrats are trying to right the ship, by passing the relief bill (without ONE republican), and also trying to pass gun safety regulations, which is a brick wall they hit with republicans.

90% of Americans want gun safety, background checks, closing loopholes.
75% of Americans support the relief bill.

Yet republicans ignore their constituents, and refuse to pass these bills.
Many are still wanting to take away Obamacare...

The third witness is a mixed martial arts man. He described the technique Chauvin was using on George's neck to the jury. He said it looked like Chauvin was going for the kill shot, which the judge asked the jury to disregard, but they heard it.

For the record, the real time was 9 minutes & 29 seconds, before he got off his neck. One officer told Chauvin at 6 minutes he couldn't find a pulse, yet he stayed on his neck for more then 3 minutes.
Depraved.

Misconduct complaints
Chauvin had 18 complaints on his official record, two of which ended in discipline, including official letters of reprimand.[19] He had been involved in three police shootings, one of which was fatal.[16][20][21][22] According to the former owner of El Nuevo Rodeo, a Latin nightclub, Chauvin had worked there off duty as security while George Floyd was also working as security, but was not certain whether they knew each other.[23][24] The owner has been critical of Chauvin since his arrest, describing Chauvin's tactics as "overkill" and saying "Chauvin was unnecessarily aggressive on nights when the club had a black clientele, quelling fights by dousing the crowd with pepper spray and calling in several police squad cars as backup".[15] The owner also said Chauvin responded to fights by spraying the crowd with mace instead of dealing with those who were fighting.[discuss][25]
